Welcome to the 478th edition of Phish.Net's Mystery Jam Monday, the final and most difficult puzzle of September - shout-out to @sumac22 for one of the clips! The winner will receive an MP3 download code courtesy of our friends at LivePhish.com / Nugs.Net. To win, be the first person to identify the song and date of all three mystery clips, which are connected by a theme. Each person gets one guess to start – if no one answers correctly in the first 24 hours, I'll post a hint. After the hint, everyone gets one more guess before Wednesday at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. Stay safe!

Hint: Not a single jam from 2021 would have fit with this week's theme, but three previous MJM clips would have.

Answer: Pencils down! The blog has won for the first time in a year and for only the 29th time ever. These three jams were all played on the same day, a day on which no shows were played this year: 6/28/16 "Breath and Burning," 6/28/12 "Back on the Train," and 6/28/19 "Birds of a Feather." We'll play for two next week at MJM479.
